No one is immune to the need for self-care. Not even writers, who if not glorified for dysfunctionality are at least held essentially synonymous with a disregard for the physical self in exchange for written mastery.

Great post. Reminds me of a funny forum I read once where people were answering the question, “what do people brag about that you don’t understand?” One of the top answers was, “how little sleep they go on.”

Bear in Mind

This site is very much a “Work in Progress.” Once this WIP label has been removed, you’ll know it’s ready for more critical eyes. It’s entirely possible this won’t be for some time. (If you were instead for some reason expecting a literal mental bear, please check to see if it has arrived.)
